Master Class for conductors in Vaison La Romaine

The Master class organised by A Coeur Joie in Vaison la Romaine (France) at the end of next summer (23-28 July 2013) will gather 25 participants, who will be offered the opportunity to conduct the “Harmonia Ensemble,” an impressive emerging choir from Tokyo. This choir not only won the Grand Prix of the City of Tours in 2011 but was also awarded two consecutive Golden Awards at the National Japan Choir Competition in 2010 and 2011. Dealing with such a world-class choir coming from a very different background, culture, and musical aesthetic is an exciting challenge for conductors. But they will not be left alone to face this task. Prof. Brady Allred, from Salt Lake City (USA), will be their mentor, bringing them a step further in their art with his very personal mix of professionalism and sense of humour.
